Once more, we celebrate the hope of Advent fulfilled in Christmas joy! The foot of Calvary’s cross is rooted in Bethlehem’s stable, and so we rejoice together in the miracle of Emmanuel – God with us – in the Person of Jesus Christ.
Merry Christmas to you and yours from the Husband family!
Star of the East, that long ago
“Star Of The East”
Brought wise men on their way
Where, angels singing to and fro,
The Child of Bethlehem lay—
Above that Syrian hill afar
Thou shinest out to-night, O Star!
Star of the East, the night were drear
But for the tender grace
That with thy glory comes to cheer
Earth’s loneliest, darkest place;
For by that charity we see
Where there is hope for all and me.
Star of the East! show us the way
In wisdom undefiled
To seek that manger out and lay
Our gifts before the child—
To bring our hearts and offer them
Unto our King in Bethlehem!
Eugene Field (1850-1895)
